Zabbix-Agent restart no pid file...

[MrRobbert]

oke... in my script there was this...

/etc/init.d/zabbix-agent

DAEMON=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd

i changed it to

DAEMON=/usr/bin/zabbix_agentd

now i get the following...


if i start the service:

root@VMWARESERVER01:/usr/bin# /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent start
Starting Zabbix Server: zabbix_agentd
Wrong value of [RefreshActiveChecks] in line 47. Should be between 60 and 3600.

if i stop the service:

root@VMWARESERVER01:/usr/bin# /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent stop
Stopping Zabbix Server: zabbix_agentd
zabbix_agentd: no process killed

after some changes in my script i get the following:

#! /bin/sh

        rm -f $PID

Oke...

i did the following:

apt-get --purge remove zabbix-agent
apt-get install zabbix-agent


a few seconds later i received an email with the subject that my server is online...

lol, my zabbix agent suddely starts monitoring that perticular server again...

after a reboot of the server i says again:

Unix_t/Server_VMWare_Rik 	172.###.###.###	10050	Monitored 	Not available 	Timeout while connecting to [Server_VMWare_Rik]

so then i again do:

apt-get --purge remove zabbix-agent
apt-get install zabbix-agent

Et voila; it starts monitoring again...


anyboady has an answer why this only works like this????
